Dr said I have pulled a muscle in my shoulder and chest and said that is why I am getting intense pain down my left arm.

Keep taking the meds he said... I'm on to week three now and it is keeping me up ....

Making me miserable ... very miserable

😪😪

Hugs to all x

That's terrible! I think GP's use a 5 minute get in and out rule sometimes so annoying!!! Have you tried speaking to 111? Xxx

I have been to 2 different GPs with a similar thing. A pain which starts in my upper back near my left shoulder blade and goes around my left ribs. Very painful and sometimes takes my breath away. Sometimes it goes around the front too and I get scared its my heart. Both GPs have told me its muscular because I use crutches to walk Ive pulled muscles. I don't think it is. I think its costochondritis but where do you go if doctors dismiss your concerns?

Hope you get some help soon. hugs (gentle ones) Joolz.x

My left arm used to hurst soooo much and I could hardly move my arm in the end. GP sent me for an ultra sound and it turned out I had a bone spur splitting my rotator cuff. Had a surgical repair earlier this year and that awful arm pain has completely gone. I really feel for you and hope you get your answers soon 🙈X
